Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
In FIGS. 1 to 3, the dynamic visual acuity training device 1 is roughly divided into a case 2 having a substantially lower “L” shape in a side view in which a lower front portion protrudes toward the hand of the trainee 5, and the case 2. A display panel 3 provided in the upper front part, a plurality of bar-shaped light emitting portions 16 disposed on the display panel 3, a transparent support cover 4 installed so as to cover the display panel 3, and a cord attached to the case 2 6 and a light receiver 7 connected through 6.
The case 2 is a box shape formed of a synthetic resin plate or a metal plate in a substantially “L” shape in a side view, and the control unit 8 is stored therein. The front surface of the case 2 with respect to the trainee 5 is divided into a lower front portion that forms the operation surface 9 at the tip, and an upper front portion that faces the trainee 5 at the edge of the operation surface 9. A light emission time adjusting knob 10, a result display unit 11, and a start switch 12 are arranged on the operation surface 9, so that the trainee 5 can perform device operations and result confirmation required for moving body vision training. Yes. On the other hand, the display panel 3 and the light emitting unit 16 are provided in the upper front portion so that the trainee 5 can display the light emitted from the light emitting unit 16.

  The display panel 3 is formed in a flat plate shape with a synthetic resin or the like, and a plurality of insertion holes 13 are perforated. The plurality of insertion holes 13 are perforated so that adjacent insertion holes 13 maintain the same interval in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction on the display panel 3. When the light emitting portions 16 are inserted through the insertion holes 13, a plurality of light emitting portions 16 can be arranged in parallel to each other, and adjacent light emitting portions 16 can be scattered on all four sides at equal intervals on the display panel 3. . The display panel 3 is locked to the case 2 and detachably locked to the support cover 4 by a locking tool 14 provided at the end of the display panel 3. The display panel 3 is covered with the support cover 4. It has a structure that

The support cover 4 has a bottomed box shape made of a light-transmitting material such as synthetic resin or glass, and the light emission of the light emitting unit 16 covered with the support cover 4 can be visually recognized. A support hole 15 is provided on the front surface of the support cover 4 at the same position in the vertical direction as the drilling position of the insertion hole 13 provided in the display panel 3. The light emitting part 16 can be inserted so as to penetrate both of them vertically.
As shown in FIG. 4, the light emitting unit 16 is formed in a cylindrical rod shape using a synthetic resin material such as acrylic glass that has one end abutting on the light emitting diode 17 and the other end protruding from the display panel 3. The light of the light emitting diode 17 incident from the base end side can be guided to the front end side to emit light from the front end, and the light emission of the light emitting diode 17 can be seen from the side surface. 72 light emitting units 16 are provided in the moving vision acuity training device 1, and the light emitting units 16 that are adjacent to each other are equally spaced from each other while passing through both the display panel 3 and the support hole 15 so as to be parallel to each other. It is provided to be scattered. Further, a fluorescent part 20 is provided on the side surface of the light emitting part 16, and when the light passing through the light emitting part 16 is irradiated to the fluorescent part 20, the fluorescent part 20 fluoresces or reflects light. Therefore, the visibility from the side can be improved. Further, the base end portion of the light emitting portion 16 is provided with a connecting body 19 formed in a hollow cylindrical shape using an elastic material such as polyolefin or synthetic rubber so that the light emitting portion 16 and the light emitting diode 17 can be fitted inside. It has become.

The light-emitting diode 17 is preferably a red high-intensity light-emitting diode, and can emit light to the light-emitting portion 16.
According to the embodiment, when the trainee 5 trains the moving eyesight, the trainee 5 plugs the outlet 21 of the case 2 into the AC power source, rotates the light emission time adjusting knob 10, and the light emitting diode 17. The light emission time of (light emitting unit 16) is set. Since the light emitting time of the light emitting diode 17 is the time required for the trainee 5 to select the light emitting unit 16 that emits light and bring the light receiver 7 close to the light emitting unit 16, it is difficult to increase the light emitting time. Can also be lowered.

  Next, when the device cover 22 is removed and the start switch 12 of the case 2 is turned on, the circuit of the light emitting diode 17 is controlled by the DC relay 23 controlled according to the light emission pattern, and the light emitting diode 17 selectively emits light. The light emitting pattern of the light emitting diode 17 can be a programmed light emitting pattern or a light emitting pattern randomly selected using a random number generator or the like, and training for various purposes can be performed by changing the program. For example, when the trainee 5 wants to train visual acuity for a moving body that moves in the horizontal direction, a pattern in which the display panel 3 is sequentially lit from one end to the other in the horizontal direction can be taken.

  Light emission of the light emitting diode 17 emits light from the projecting end surface 24 and the side surface of the light emitting unit 16 through a transmissive light guide. At this time, if the fluorescent portion 20 is provided on the side surface, the light emitted to the side becomes strong, and the visibility is improved. When the trainee 5 identifies the light emitting unit 16 that emits light, and the light receiver 7 is brought close to this part, the light reception signal is transmitted to the visual determination device 26 via the cord 6 by the photoelectric element 25, and the visual determination is performed. Done. If visible, the result display 11 integrates the results or displays the percentage of the visible number with respect to the predetermined number of luminescence, and the moving visual acuity is evaluated with this numerical value.

According to the embodiment, in the moving visual acuity training apparatus that performs training by causing the plurality of light emitting units 16 to selectively emit light every predetermined time and causing the trainee 5 to confirm the light emission, the light emitting unit 16 includes: It is formed in a rod shape so that light emission can be seen from the side.
As a result, the trainee 5 can visually recognize the light emission from the side. Furthermore, since the visibility from the side is improved, the light emitting unit 16 can visually recognize light emission even when installed in sunlight or under illumination, and it is not necessary to provide a light shielding hood, and the apparatus can be made compact.
The plurality of light emitting units 16 are each configured by a rod-shaped light guide that guides light incident from the proximal end side to the distal end side and emits light from the distal end side, and makes the light incident on the proximal end side of the light emitting unit 16. A plurality of light emitting diodes 17 having a luminance are provided corresponding to each light emitting unit 16.

As a result, the light emitting section 16 having excellent visibility from the side can be easily obtained without using a plurality of light emitting diodes. Moreover, visibility can be improved more by using the high-intensity light emitting diode 17 as a light source.
A light receiver 7 that can be moved to a position corresponding to each light emitting unit 16 is provided so as to receive light from the light emitting unit 16 that emits light, and training of moving visual acuity is performed based on the number of times the light received by the light receiver 16 is received. Like to do.
Accordingly, it is possible to easily confirm the received light without using a device such as a joystick, the moving body vision training device 1 can be made compact, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The plurality of light emitting units 16 are arranged in parallel to each other, and adjacent light emitting units 16 are arranged in four directions at equal intervals.
Thus, by selectively causing the scattered light emitting units 16 to emit light, it is possible to display a complicated light emission pattern rather than displaying a light emission pattern on a large rectangular side or diagonal line.
A fluorescent portion 20 is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the light emitting portion 16 in order to improve visibility from the side.

Thereby, the visibility from the side can be further improved.
In the present invention, the shape of each member and the positional relationship of front / rear / left / right / upper / lower are best configured as shown in FIGS. However, the present invention is not limited to the previous embodiment, and various modifications and combinations of members and configurations can be made.
For example, in the above-described embodiment, the case 2 has a substantially “L” shape when viewed from the side, and has the operation surface 9 at the front lower part protruding from the trainee 5, but instead is a rectangular parallelepiped case 2. Alternatively, the operation surface 9 may be disposed not on the front surface of the case 2 but on the side surface or the back surface.

Further, instead of the configuration in which the insertion hole 13 and the support hole 15 are drilled in a grid pattern, for example, the drilling part is drilled at the top of an equilateral triangle, or the top or center of another polygon is drilled. Or you can do it. Furthermore, although the number of the insertion holes 13, the support holes 15, and the light emitting portions 16 is 72 in the previous embodiment, it is needless to say that the number of the light emitting portions 16 need not be limited to 72.
In the first embodiment, the light-emitting diode 17 and the light-emitting unit 16 are individually configured. However, for example, a plurality of light-emitting diodes 17 may be built in the light-emitting body 16 so that the light-emitting unit 16 itself emits light. A light having a luminance higher than that of the light emitting diode may be provided inside 2 so that it can be visually recognized by the trainee 5 through the light emitting unit 16.

Further, instead of the configuration in which the light emitting unit 16 protrudes from the support cover 4, the light emitting unit 16 may be terminated before the display panel 3 and by the scissors from the support cover 4. Furthermore, instead of the cylindrical light emitting portion 16, for example, it may have a substantially hexagonal shape in cross section or another polygonal shape.
Although the number of light emitting diodes 17 that emit light simultaneously is one in the previous embodiment, a plurality of the light emitting diodes 17 may be turned on simultaneously.
The output of the training result is only displayed on the result display unit 11 in the above embodiment, but instead, the output of the training result may be printed on a printer or transmitted to the trainee 5 by voice or light. good.
